Eve of Ashleigh 26When Darian finally stopped forcing Ashleigh to walk, she was able to lift her eyes from keeping a watch on the ground before her to behold a group of human and created standing in the middle of the Created village's town square.Eve of Ashleigh 26
Downbeat was there, fur bristled and lips drawn back to let the growl in his throat out at the humans across from him. Only Ryskater's hold on his shoulders was holding him back from whatever he wanted to do and by the expression in his eyes it wasn't good. Since Darian still had one hand tightly on her shoulder Ashleigh wasn't able to get free to join her friend. Black w


Eve of Ashleigh 25Sunrises on Huo, unlike Earth, came in two stages. First the gas giant edged over the horizon in the south-west, tossing a yellow glow onto everything not protected by trees or otherwise in shadow. The sky became a dirty green, gaining more blue as the true sun rose in the north and began to cast its light onto the rich vegetation on the moon. When the two light sources were in just the right position it created a prismatic affect that dazzled the eye and distorted every perceived color in the landscape. According to Ryskater this happened once every forty days and caused a gap in the moon's naturalEve of Ashleigh 25


Eve of Ashleigh 24Ashleigh blinked a few times, looking around them at the, to her, pitch black darkness. "Uh, Downbeat--"Eve of Ashleigh 24
"I'm right here," he murmured, touching her arm gently. "Don't worry. We're alone, as far as I can tell, and it smells like we're back on Huo." He started to fuss with something she couldn't see.
"What're you doing?" She asked, blinking a few more times to get her sight to adjust faster.
"Trying to find something to tie the crystals together-- I only went back last time because they fell apart."
"Oh, good idea." Ashleigh put down her backpack an


Eve of Ashleigh 23"Do you believe him?" Downbeat asked quietly.Eve of Ashleigh 23
"I don't know what to believe," Ashleigh sighed, leaning her shoulder against his so she could rest their heads together. His furry warmth was as comforting as it ever had been and she was glad that at least that had stayed the same. They were sitting in her quarters on her bed, Grove having decided that everyone needed some time to think about what had just happened. Johnny-- Ashleigh shook her head slightly, trying to get the name out of her mind-- Breaker was back in his own room, Thora with him. On guard, the Mute


Eve of Ashleigh 22Awareness came all at once and Ashleigh thrashed, trying to get away from the feeling of paralysis. Nausea came in a rush, prompting a gag. Hands helped her sit up quickly and she choked, barely suppressing the urge to throw up. "Oh God," she choked, leaning against the person helping her, "I'm gonna hurl."Eve of Ashleigh 22
"That'll happen," a kind voice murmured. "Take deep, even breaths."
Not trying to open her eyes, Ashleigh did as she was told, thinking of nothing else until her stomach settled and the pounding in her head diminished to a more tolerable level. She let out a s


Eve of Ashleigh 21Downbeat stumbled as the ship shuddered again. He grabbed a nearby console to right himself, glancing at Grove to find reassurance in his expression-- only there was none. The human's face was tight and worried, something that sent a chill right through Downbeat. He didn't want to break his concentration, however, so he simply strapped himself into the nearest seat and gazed at the console before him, attempting to make heads or tails of the readouts before him. After a few moments, though, he was forced to admit he didn't know what he was looking at in the slightest. "Grove, I can't--" &Eve of Ashleigh 21
